General Quarters injured in freak accident, may miss Breeders' Cup
 

I didn't see anything about this, but it happened Monday, and I've gotten a little behind in my ATR this week, so apologies if it's old news.

Definitely out of the Shadwell, might miss the BC. He managed to kick himself after another horse reared and freaked him out.

A tragedy...lol...not. He was pointing towards a BC race? LOL.

Fine contribution.

Better than his would have been.

Of course I am going along and humoring those who think these races actually mean something other than an opportunity to make money.:zz:

Hate that for McCarthy. A nice story whether he had a shot or not. I know he cost me the Pick 4 on Derby day.

Bought for $20K; race record 21-4-7-2; earnings $1.14 million. Not bad.

He's always been a favorite of mine despite what anyone has to say about his owner being a cheapskate and a piker.

If you thought he had no chance in the BC, wouldn't you want him in the starting gate taking other people's money?

I know there's some controversy re the connections but I do like this horse. Sorry he's injured.

The horse was crying out because his owner is an a-hole.

Did he tell you that?

GQ has the same shrink that RA has.

I'm not sure that shrink does a great job.

Well I was assuming his shrink was Coach. :D

That's for sure.

Opinions are like a-holes - everyone's got one.

That's right, Printheth.

lets chill out now:eek:

Yes and no. If he (or any other horse) shuts out a horse I think is a legitimate contender for a piece of the trifecta just because they won a "win and you're in" or have the earnings or stakes wins to get in (or whatever "criteria" they use), I don't want to see them in. But if for some reason (running on poly for example) they can't fill a field anyway then I can deal with it
